    full machined gear flux tranny, "bulletproof"

    Not sure about the other guys, apart from 1 who defo did but's now gone onto a CD mod. I've shimmed mine so it's all lined up perfectly and there's as little movement as possible.

    The Q-Base is a rebadged Castle Mamba Max Pro, so more than a bit overkill for 2s use in your car. If it's REALLY cheap it's worth getting anyway, but as BIG-block says, an EZRUN 60A will be fine, even the 35A. I've had the 35A in 1/10 Associated buggies and touring cars with a similar motor to...
